Does a vtec head really bump compression?
Ok well I've heard soo much of both ways so I finally want to set this straight. Does a vtec head on a non vtec sohc (mini me) raise compression or is this just a myth? And how much are we talking if it does indeed raise it?

Re:Does a vtec head really bump compression?
i looked into this a while back....im assuming you mean a vtec head on your y7. there wasnt much info about the y7, but when i compared the heads of that and a z6 online it seemed they had the same volume, so i would assume no difference
